"I should go back now." Zeng Xin said satisfied by his harvest this time and flew back.

In less than an hour, Zeng Xin had reached Suotuo City.

Zeng Xin already guessed that after returning to Shrek Academy, the grandmaster should have also arrived by yesterday and would have met Tang San also because of the external spirit bone issue. He can easily say that Grandmaster cherishes and care for Tang San more as he can help him prove his theories.

After washing himself and wearing a new set of clothes, he slowly walked toward the academy.

As he was walking out of the dorm, he sensed someone hiding in one of the trees. He didn't feel any malicious intent coming from the person as he looked at the tree and said in an indifferent voice, " Come out whoever is hiding."

The other party didn't move and said anything.

Zeng Xin raised one of his eyebrows in interest and then smirked as he thought to entertain whoever was spying.

'Trying to spy on me?'

He suddenly disappeared from his place and appeared right in front of the person and clenched his fist and was about to punch but immediately his eyes widened as he saw the face of the person and hurriedly changed the direction of his punch. The other person eyes didn't even flinch slightly. The punch grazed past the face of the person and hit the tree.

'Bang!'

The tree was immediately shattered upon impact and the force of the punch was so strong that it destroyed two more trees behind the first one.

The other person just stared coldly at his eyes directly. It was none other than Zhu Zhuqing who was looking at him directly in his eyes. Zhu Zhuqing then tilted her head slightly to look behind and saw the devastating tress as her eyes condensed slightly. She didn't think that a casual punch would be so powerful.

"What are you doing here?"

"I am sorry, I didn't want to startle you?" Zhu Zhuqing lightly jumped from the tree. She was wearing a purple-black dress that accentuated all her curves beautifully. Nobody can say that this was the body of a twelve-year-old.

"Do you have any business with me?" Zeng Xin said indifferently.

"Un. I want you to become my partner in two on two matches in Suotuo City Great Fighting Arena. Will you?" Zhu Zhuqing asked Zeng Xin without any change in her expression except they can see a slight blush on her white cheeks, which is very obvious.

"But I told you already, I am higher rank than you." Zeng Xin said blankly as he was stunned seeing her blush.

"I have broken through and reached Rank 31. We can fight together now." Zhu Zhuqing said.

"I am a Spirit Ancestor now." Zhu Zhuqing was shocked. Zeng Xin's reply was enough to make people jealous of his talent. He was rank 37 a week before.

"So I can't fight with you. Sorry, I guess" Zhen Xin said and started moving from there.

"I want to become stronger." Zhu Zhuqing replied concisely.

Zeng Xin was silent for a while. He really doesn't know what to do at this moment. Looking at her determined face, she won't take a no for an answer.

Zeng Xin knew that in the original book, Zhu Zhuqing's family clan was one of those big clans where the interest of the family matters more than anything. The struggle within the family is also very serious and she was schemed by her own sister who wanted to kill her. Her life was in danger every moment. No wonder she develops such a cold temperament.

"Why don't you fight with Dai Mubai then, He is in the same group as yours. Why me?" Zeng Xin said.

Zhu Zhuqing flashed a shuttle rage but it vanished soon.

"Because you will protect me?"

"Why would I protect you?" Zeng Xin asked.

"You protected me before and will protect me again. Right? Zeng Xin" Zh Zhuqing said with a blush on her face but soon the whole atmosphere changed. It was filled with a dense murderous aura.

The aura was radiating from Zeng Xin. Zhu Zhuqing was having a problem breathing. She was on her knees was horrified when she looked into Zeng Xin's eyes.

In a moment Zeng Xin placed his knife on her neck, "How do you know about me?"

"I. I just, I just..."

"Stop stuttering and tell me fast or you won't notice when I slit your throat." Zeng Xin was in pure rage mode. His identity was out, as an assassin, your identity is what should never be revealed.

"I found the name of the Zeng Family from your holster. I went back to my family to check about it and found about Zeng Family. No young person ever left their family to join any other academy except their young master, Zeng Xin. So I thought you are Zeng Xin."

Zeng Xin retracted his aura.

'Okay, so she doesn't know about my assassin background but spirit hall knows about our families real business, I don't want them to know about me. I don't want them to know about me.'

"You will tell no one and I will owe you one favour." Zeng Xin said while waiting for his reply.

"Then train me, form a team with me."

"Is that all you want?" Zeng Xin said while keeping his aloof expression. Zhu Zhuqing nodded.
